Issue
How can we replace text in multiple files and folders quickly if folder name and file name are dynamically change.
Solution
Using PowerShell built-in cmdlets we can easily read and replace any kind of content inside of a text file.
First, we can using Get-ChildItem to get all the files. Because the folder name and file name are dynamical then need to use wildcard in the path as below:
$files = Get-ChildItem ‘D:\test\*\files**.txt’ -Recurse
Then we need to loop the $files to get then content for each file and replace.
$files | %{
(gc $_ -Encoding UTF8) -replace ‘test’,” | Set-Content $_.fullname -Encoding UTF8
}
